Recycled CD snowflake ornament

It’s not too early to think about making Christmas
ornaments.The tree will be up
before you know it.The lights
reflect off this snowflake to shine and sparkle.With a little help from a parent this is a great “keep em
busy” kid’s project!

You will need:

Two discarded CD or DVDs

Old scissors or tin snips

Tacky craft glue

Paper mache snowflake ornament (available from craft stores)

The one I used had a ¼” thickness.

Gold glitter dimensional fabric paint

1.Cut the Cd or DVD up into various sized
pieces.Smaller areas will need
smaller pieces.

2.Begin gluing the pieces shiny side up onto the
paper mache ornament.Leave some
space between the pieces.After
you have filled up one side glue on some small pieces to the edges all around. (Since
adding fabric paint to the edges may not be easy for kids, if you desire, you
can butt the CD pieces on the edges together and eliminate the fabric paint
between)

3.After one side has dried, turn over and add
pieces to the opposite side.

4.Shake down the fabric paint to remove any
bubbles.Test on scrap paper
before using.Fill in the gaps
between the CD pieces with the dimensional fabric paint on one side and the
edges around.Let dry completely.
After the fabric paint has dried, turn the ornament over and fill in the gaps
with the fabric paint on the opposite side.Let dry.

I love this idea. Now I just need to find some old CDs ;) Think I'll cut the shape from some stiff card and just make a flat version to hang up so it doesn't cost a penny.Thanks for some brilliant ideas. x
